    A Comparative Study of Agricultural Policies in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
    (2021) Shandilya, Anannya
    India is an agro-based economy. Agricultural policies are an important part of the government’s role in ensuring growth and sustainability in the country. This paper focuses on studying the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to draw evidence on whether a state’s agricultural policies are more effective than the other’s in terms of increasing agricultural production and productivity. In doing so, it aims to fill in the gap that exists in agricultural policy research in India by providing comparative information on different agricultural policies. Using a difference-in-differences approach on a state-crop level panel dataset spanning from 2010 to 2019, the paper finds that the agricultural policies adopted by the state of Andhra Pradesh are more effective than those adopted by the state of Telangana.

    Factors Driving Renewable Energy Consumption: Air Pollution and Governance
    (2018-01-01) Shandilya, Anannya
    Nations around the world are adopting renewable energy at varied paces. While some countries have a relatively higher consumption of renewable energy, others are still heavily dependent on traditional sources to meet their energy needs. But what exactly are the factors driving this shift towards renewable energy? Probably the first answer that comes to the mind is that nations have different potentials to generate renewable versus conventional energy. But beyond the obvious, there are other factors influencing renewable energy consumption. This research paper makes an attempt to establish two such factors: pollution level and type of governance. Using several regression models, it aims to show that nations that hold governments accountable to the citizens and have large scale pollution are the ones showing a faster shift towards renewable energy.
